The longest recipient lived for 16 years but they still died anyway. The real goal is extending to 50+ years living with an artificial heart without that failing (for perspective, a French woman lived up to 122 years old before dying, without an artificial heart), can the technology today make someone live that long?

Why can they still pass EVEN with an artificial heart only lasting up to 16 years? Time flies rather fast, instead improve the technology on making them live up to a century or more (as if they’re god) however, brain death and cell destruction postmortem make this a nightmare as that happens quickly after someone perishes.

Also, there’s a dilemma whether the family wants them to be resurrected (limited survival with artificial heart) or RIP. Some relatives refuse the possibility (of “respawning” them with an artificial heart) since they want them to “RIP” rather than desecrating their remains for science or have a temporary revival but still die later on.

Let’s say they have an artificial heart implanted after death, first dealing with the pain of losing someone once then celebrating their revival to one day hear another announcement of their passing later on in their life (this time for real), how would they feel after experiencing death once but a second time they’re not lucky?

There’s a spiritual (religious) dilemma regarding “necromancy” (using artificial hearts to resurrect someone after death) in the same manner as Ouija boards being frowned upon by Christians since they believe that one’s soul shall meet the lord upon death (RIP), while artificial hearts don’t guarantee permanent survival.
